Ateam of scientists is working to formulate a drug that can treat children who are diagnosed with gigantism. which effect should the drug have on patients? starts the secretion of substances from the adrenal gland that decrease growth increases the secretion of substances from the reproductive glands that stop growth stops the secretion of substances from the thyroid gland that cause growth decreases the secretion of substances from the pituitary gland that cause growth

"Decreases the secretion of substances from the pituitary gland that cause growth".

decreases the secretion of substances from the pituitary gland that cause growth

Gigantism is a disorder which is caused by the excess secretion of the growth hormone by the anterior pituitary gland. It is characterized by excess growth in height of children, large hands and feet, coarse facial features and thick fingers.

In the given situation, the drug should decrease the secretion of substances from the pituitary gland that cause growth is the desired effect of drug on the patients.

the overall balanced equation

6co2 + 6h2o > c6h12o6 + 6o2

sunlight energy

where: co2 = carbon dioxide

h2o = water

light energy is required

c6h12o6 = glucose

o2 = oxygen
